West Indies Restaurant & Mkt

I have been to Sylvia's many times and I must say, without a doubt, that Sylvia's Jamaican restaurant is the best place to get jamaican food in the (845) area. Authenticity 5-star Quality 5-star Taste 5-star Service 5-Star Staff 5-star I have nothing terrible to say about this wonderful establishment. The staff is sincere and respectful. The quality and taste of food is better than any competing West Indian/Jamaican restaurants in the near-by vicinity. As a Jamaican myself, I really appreciate how they focus on the Authenticity of the taste of the food and not try to cater too much to an American audience by changing the recipe. They're formula has proven that authentic Jamaican can be succesful. I will continue to be a strong supporter of this restaurant and I strongly advise anyone looking for REAL Jamaican cuisine, to stop by(or call ahead) and try their food. You will not be disappointed

NICEST PEOPLE HERE! Fantastic food. Every time I have visited, the customers and the staff are always incredibly sweet - one person even went out of her way to check for me if they had beef patties left! The beef patties are amazing, the mixed veggies and cabbage were seasoned so well. Fried plantains were good, and the oxtail was delicious! They usually have limited stocks of food, which is okay even if I miss out on some food because then you know it's fresh. If you want all the good stuff (like the dumplings usually sell out quick), come here exactly at or their posted breakfast and lunch times!

Customer service was very nice. The prices were ok. I haven't had good caribbean food in a long time so I was excited about finding this restaurant. I was very disappointed with the food. I had goat soup and oxtails rice and peas. The goat soup was ok. It lacked goat meat and was more dumplings but the soup was very well seasoned. The oxtails rice and peas not very good. The rice was hard and it didn't have to authentic coconut milk seasoned taste. It had a burnt rice smell and taste. The oxtails were soft but not tasty. I will be going to Golden Krust or another restaurant further down main street next time.
